Well, its time to discuss some real SEO topics. As you all know Links are everything for a successful website, but not just any links! I’ll give you a good strategy for quick website start-up.
In general the easiest types of links can be acquired by doing relevant niche website Commenting (comment link with carefully chosen name is a great quality link!) and Forum Postings.
Blog Commenting
In this strategy Google is your best friend. If he wants links then he’ll tell you where to get them from. When you google “your keyword”+comments you will see a good list of websites allowing commenting on your targeted area. So easy right?
Forum Commenting
Using the same idea as the blog commenting search strategy, you can use the “your keyword”+forum to get pretty good list of forum posts where you can sign up and post your own link as a comment. In most cases those links are far less quality than the Blog Commenting since forums contain million links and they don’t pass almost any PR, but they will still give you some good boost since they are much easier to find and most of all TOPIC RELEVANT to your niche.
Forum Advertising
Forum posting is a really smart strategy. In general all large internet forums are pretty much the home of most search engine crawlers (check the who is online and you’ll see that there are at least few search engine bots crawling the new posts). Yes, this can be used for our benefit. When posting new thread of even commenting, our post contents will be picked up very quick and your links will be indexed within hours. My experiment in DP showed that it took about 15 minutes after I posted to have it crawled by google, the same page appeared indexed in the search results few hours later.
The biggest benefit you can get from high quality forums can be considered almost as valuable as WikiPedia link. In theory all posts on a large forum are ranked pretty high on the SERPS for about few months until they are archived. If you find good forum in your niche or even a bit irrelevant (Google PR 6+), you can create new Thread and advertise yourself in it including something like banner, a paragraph or two of keyword rich text and so on — NOTE: Imaging you are posting this on your own homepage and it has to look good for your future customers/visitors. The whole idea behind this is that if you’re lucky enough, this page will rank on TOP 10 for your targeted keyword and will indirectly bring you highly targeted traffic + tons of relative link juice.
I’ll post more info and link building strategies later, so please feel free to come back again and check it out. By the way, please post your comments, I’d like to hear your Quick Link and traffic building ideas!
I would definitely add guest blogging to a legitimate and legal way of getting quality backlinks (and traffic)
Nice article 🙂
I love doing forum threads myself like that… it’s a fairly easy to dominate a low-competition keyword! Coupled with a squidoo lens and something else all the link results might as well be pointing towards your sites.
Blog commenting is very useful tips. But if commenting on those “nofollow” blog, is it the backlink on the comment helps in SERPS too?
Yes in general a link is a link. The nofollow is not going to give you any SEO link juice, but still topical relativity and visitor traffic is of great importance! You can check if the links are “nofollowed” or not if check the code generated.

I do quite a lot of blog commenting . but I find a lot of the forums for my niche are quite picky about links as it’s competition for them!
I have been trying to comment as much as possible in blogs in my niche. The only problem that I am running into is the comment area is usually a no follow.
I will begin using this strategy right away. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.
“your keyword”+comments” is really good command to find blogs.
Have you got any tips to find “do-follow” blogs through Google ?
Thanks anyway.
Getting ranking online is hard, I appreciate your writeup and time.
Hi, Yes I know a bunch of tricks and I’ll implement them in a SEO tool which I’ve started building recently. If I manage to succeed, this tool will allow you to automatically check NoFollow, External and other link protections from a list of blogs belonging in your targeted niche/keyword.
As I said this project will take some time to finish but it will be worth it! I’ll be more than happy to share access to it when I’m done.
This is a very nice article but, you should include more ways of searching blogs and forums in one’s niche. Like I found a way of searching forums: “keyword”+phpbb, “keyword”+vbulletin, “keyword”+wordpress,”keyword”,etc.
Only do follow links can help you for getting high ranking in Google. Most the blogs comments posting and social bookmarking website do not provide do follow links.
I think Blogs, forums and social media optimization can give you advantage in this regards.
